ALBANY – Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker remained the unquestioned king of the lobbying hill in Albany in 2013 thanks to a varied client list that includes hospitals, car dealers, accounting firms and horse tracks.
The firm reported total compensation and expenses of just under $10.4 million last year, according to the mandated financial reports that registered lobbyists make to the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE). The commission has taken over the regulation of the lobbying industry following the disbandment of the Temporary Commission on Lobbying in 2007 and the Ethics Commission in 2011.
